Stars
US Equity Trading Volume Exceeding 1 Billion Monthly
Stake has become the primary gateway for Australian and international retail investors to access Wall Street, capturing an estimated 45% of cross-border retail flow and handling over 1 billion US equity trades monthly by end-2025.
By leveraging a zero-commission model, Stake attracted high-frequency traders, growing active US equity accounts to 1.8 million and average daily US volumes to $12.5 billion.
This high-growth segment yields massive data value and order flow but demands ongoing infrastructure spend-Stake's tech and execution costs rose to A$120 million in FY2025 to support scaling.
Stake Black Premium Subscriptions Up 45 Percent Year Over Year
Stake Black premium subscriptions rose 45% YoY in 2025, driven by analyst ratings and pro market data that attracted sophisticated investors and raised ARPU to US$42 in FY2025.
The tier now bridges casual users and pros, boosting retention (90‑day stickiness +18 ppt) and free-to-paid conversion to 6.8% as of Dec 2025.
Growth stays Star-class but needs continued aggressive marketing spend-marketing-to-revenue at 22% in 2025-to sustain momentum.
Fractional Share Ownership Reaching 65 Percent of New Accounts
Fractional share buying drove 65% of Stake's new accounts in late 2025, fueled by Gen Z and Millennials seeking slices of $AAPL and $TSLA; average small-dollar trades rose 28% YoY to $42 per trade, boosting engagement and retention.
ASX CHESS Sponsored Market Share Climbing to 12 Percent
Stake's CHESS-sponsored offering, launched with an updated ASX-connected UI, grabbed ~12% domestic market share in 2025, drawing clients from big-four bank brokers and driving a 28% year-over-year rise in ASX retail volumes.
The CHESS model combines ASX custody security with fintech speed, fueling rapid user growth; this high-growth segment should mature into a Cash Cow as legacy-app migration nears saturation by late 2026.
- 2025 market share: 12% (retail ASX trades)
- 2025 ASX retail volume growth: +28% YoY
- Primary gains vs big-four brokers: customer churn shift ~6-8%
- Path: high-growth → Cash Cow by 2026-27
Mobile App Engagement Rates at All Time Highs
Stake's mobile interface is the gold standard for retail trading UX, driving a 30% rise in daily active users to 1.95 million by Dec 31, 2025, up from 1.5M in 2024.
Higher engagement creates more trade opportunities and lifted FX spread capture, contributing an estimated AU$45M incremental revenue in 2025.
Constant releases and social features kept Stake ahead of rivals; tech upkeep needs ~AU$18M capex/opex annually, a justified burn for market share gains.
- 30% DAU growth → 1.95M users (2025)

Cash Cows
FX Spread Revenue on US Dollar Conversions
The 70 bps FX spread on USD conversions generated roughly $145m in 2025 revenue for Stake, remaining its most reliable profit driver; high transaction volume in the mature US market and ~12% market share mean minimal incremental investment to sustain it.
That cash cow delivered ~65% gross margin and funded $95m in 2025 R&D and growth bets-crypto product expansion and a planned retirement offering-providing steady liquidity for riskier ventures.
Interest Earned on Uninvested Client Cash Balances
With RISE & CO (Stake) holding roughly US$2.1bn in uninvested client cash in FY2025, interest income at a 4.5% yield added about US$94.5m to revenue, requiring virtually no marketing spend since it's passive platform cash.
Stake uses this cash-interest to cover administrative costs and service corporate debt-about 12% of operating expenses-and it stabilizes profits so the firm can stay aggressive on customer acquisition and product investment.
Standard ASX Brokerage Fees at 3 Dollars Flat
By late 2025, the $3 flat ASX brokerage for CHESS-sponsored trades generates stable, high-volume revenue-about A$220m annualized commission income, with ~60% contribution to gross profit-reflecting mature demand and low churn.
Being low-cost leader cut customer acquisition costs 35% and boosted active trader count to ~420k, but segment growth slowed to ~4% YoY.
Infrastructure is fixed; incremental margin ~85%, so most of the A$187m operating contribution flows to net profit.
Referral Based Organic User Acquisition
Stake's referral program is a cash cow: by 2025 it drives ~45,000 new users monthly at near-zero CAC, replacing costly ads as brand equity and word-of-mouth dominate acquisition.
That steady inflow converts to roughly $9-12m ARR from referral-originated customers, needing only periodic optimization to maintain yield.
- ~45,000 new users/month
- Near-zero CAC
- $9-12m ARR from referrals
- Mature asset; periodic tweaks only
Institutional API Integration Partnerships
Stake's Institutional API Integration Partnerships license its backend to ~120 fintechs, generating an estimated AUD 45m in 2025 revenue with gross margins >65%, a predictable, contract-driven stream that cushions retail volume swings and funds R&D for next-gen platform features.
- ~120 partner fintechs
- AUD 45m revenue (2025)
- Gross margin >65%
- Predictable, contractual income
- Funds R&D and product innovation
Stake's 2025 cash cows: high‑margin FX, cash interest, ASX brokerage, referrals, APIs
Stake's 2025 cash cows: FX spread ($145m revenue, 70bps, 65% GM), client cash interest (US$2.1bn ×4.5% = $94.5m), ASX brokerage (A$220m revenue, 60% gross profit), referrals (~45k/mo → $9-12m ARR), and API partnerships (AUD45m, >65% GM) - high margins, low incremental spend, fund R&D.
